Product Description
BBC Music Magazine
MacDowell, the original soloist in these works, must have been a formidable keyboard player: they tend to support the observation by a contemporary critic that he was a prestissimo pianist who could play fast more easily than play slow. The Romance for cello and orchestra is more of a sentimental potboiler, but worth an occasional hearing. These are strong, committed performances in very good sound. Stephen Prutsman has the faultless finger technique that MacDowell demands. Although Earl Wild and Van Cliburn, among others, have recorded the Second Concerto, I would say that this new bargain-price version is the one to acquire, though you might be able to track down Donna Amato's splendid coupling of both concertos on Olympia.
